The track combines Don Diablo‘s signature futuristic sounds with Felix Jaehn‘s infectious rhythms, creating a dance anthem that’s both nostalgic and forward-looking. To bring the song’s message to life, Don Diablo and Felix Jaehn shot a special music video in Berlin, an iconic city known for its vibrant music scene and historical depth.

“Working with Felix was an absolute joy. His energy, creativity, and commitment to his art is incredible. It was a pleasure to collaborate with him, especially at a time when he’s embracing his journey into the LGBTQ community with so much courage and authenticity. ‘Monster‘ is more than just a track; it’s a message of hope, strength, and solidarity, and I’m proud to be part of this project.” – Don Diablo
“So happy to finally collab with Don. I’ve been a fan of his personality and art for quite some time now. Together, we’ve created a track that’s not only an allusion to the euphoric days of ’90s raves but also a heartfelt message to those battling their inner demons. I hope our music brings light and joy to anyone feeling lost in the darkness of their own minds.” – Felix Jaehn
